The PCB has unveiled the Pakistan squad for the ODI and T20I series for the women’s tour against South Africa starting next month.

All-rounder Fatima Sana will continue to lead the Pakistan squad as the side is aiming to build towards the ICC Women’s T20I World Cup 2026 in June.

Aliya Riaz, Ayesha Zafar, Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali, Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Amin, and Tasmia Rubab have been named in both squads, while uncapped Saira Jabeen and Humna Bilal have got their maiden T20I call-ups.

Meanwhile, opening batters Ayesha and Gull along with Tasmia and Najiha Alvi have been called up to 15 member ODI squad after missing out on the ODI World Cup selection.

During the tour, mentor Wahab Riaz will be assisted by a seasoned set of coaches – Imran Farhat (Batting coach), Umaid Asif (fast bowling coach), Abdur Rehman (spin bowling coach) and Abdul Majeed (field coach).

Pakistan team is set to return to South Africa for a bilateral series after 2021, where they played a three-match ODI series.

In February 2023, Pakistan took part in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa and played their matches in Cape Town and Paarl.

The tour begins with T20I series with first match to be played on February 10 at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.
